Include F-Droid as an instalation option.
Hi there. I love this front end and think it would be awesome if you could install it using F-Droid.
Here is my reasoning. As enthusiast, we are trying to suck every last drop of performance of our devices, and for us fellows on the more extreme lines Google Play Store and Google services are a performance overhead that we are willing to sacrifice but we also love to be able to keep our software up to date easily. Considering this I think F-Droid is a great option, either by making available Daijishou through their repositories of making a F-Droid compatible repository of your own.
I wish you the best and hope to hear from you soon.
I support this, however F-Droid only allows open source apps to be included. Daijishou is not open source (yet) so we will have to wait for the source code to be released.
You can host you own f-droid repo, and the user can add it in f-droid setting. I did this for a project last year, and if you need help, I could set up the whole thing for you @TapiocaFox
I am not sure about this, but I think I could actually already do it with the publicly available apks. I have to check, because I don't remember exactly the story behind APK signature. I still have the backbone for doing this and host ti on gitlab pages, so I might take a look during lunch time. It might be a matter of few minutes if I manage to remember what to do. I'll let you know if it works.
PS: can't you just use Aurora store (from f-droid)?
So... I tried to setup a gitlab repo during my lunch break but could not test it...
Until now, and it is very simple to manage a repo that can be used with f-droid. I didn't intall the APK, because I used something grabbed on some random apk scratcher for testing purpose, but it should work.
Feel free (I mean @TapiocaFox) to contact me if you want me to give you a repo working out of the box and a "how to update", or if you just want me to explain the steps to follow in order to get the same result. It's literally 15 minutes to setup this kind of f-droid repo if you know what step to follow and don't have to browse the docs.

As an immediate way to install Daijishou without google services I ended up using the Aurora Store but it's not my preferred method because lately the Anonymous option has been rate limited hindering the functionality, so I singed up using a google account to bypass the rate limit but the Aurora Store still suffers from some usability issues (Nothing to bad so far).
F-droid is a better choice than aurora in my opinion like you said the rate limiting is a nightmare to acces aurora in anonymous mode ...
I could also just host/update the f-droid repoif @TapiocaFox does not want to do it themselves but is okay having someone else running it..

Having daijisho open sourced would be fun. As there aren't as many good open source front ends as daijisho for Android
